As above had 2 hours on the 125's in front of an instructor prior to being allowed onto the big bikes and it went okay - except not 5 yards from the office i decided it was time to change gear and the clutch lever promptly broke off in my hands!!! Lucky it was their bike so 5 minutes later i was on a nice new yamaha YBR 125 - sorry to anyone who has one but i wasn't overly keen the throttle was very twitchy and the clutch felt either on or off, not fun for practising U-turns on but got them all sorted!!!

Now got to wait 3 weeks until next lesson - BOOOOOO!!! As they are all booked up.

Can't wait for the 500's though - WOOOOP WOOOP!!!! Very Happy

Yeah, it's all about finding the right biting point, it's different between all bikes. Thumbs Up
